My husband and I bought our Victorian in 1981. It looked just like you see here. We planted 23 trees on our corner, city lot here is Santa Cruz, CA. When we moved here, there were no trees whatsoever, no homes next to us, nada. The property that our home stands on was subdivided by the family that we bought the house from. Two empty lots were created: one next to us and one behind. They were quickly purchased and two new home went up. So much has changed since that time........

Thirty three years later, we have created a habitat for birds. I plan to do more and will add to this blog. I am working on a hanging feeder that will be visible from my kitchen windows which are on the second floor. Our main floor is our second floor for a real bird's eye view.

Thank you for your kind comments.
I do love the trees and their contribution to my little bit of paradise.
The view from the windows IS lovely and now dotted with bird feeders. So nice to be up high, basically IN the trees.

I love birds; I love water; I love art. I feel privileged to have found a way to combine these three elements and create images of the birds I so enjoy.
